The story
Just outside Gent, in the quiet village of Heusden, Rooselaer offers a style of dining that is both refined and unpretentious. The atmosphere is built around the Dutch concept of gezellig—a warm, convivial setting where the focus is squarely on the food and the company.
Chef Henrick leads the kitchen, creating a new menu each month alongside a steady à la carte selection. The cuisine is rooted in classic technique, with a strong emphasis on grilling. Whether you choose the monthly changing menu or order from the à la carte, the kitchen’s suggestions and wine pairings are worth considering.
Lunch is served on Monday (lunch and dinner), Thursday evening, and Friday and Saturday lunchtime. The restaurant also caters to groups, large and small, with special celebration formulas. For those who prefer to eat at home, a take-away option is available.
Rooselaer’s consistent, high-quality cooking earned it a Michelin Recommended award for 2026—a recognition of its reliable, classic cuisine and welcoming hospitality. It’s a place where the food speaks for itself, and the setting invites you to stay a while.
